The Checkbox family CHB

The Checkbox is a system for the

optical orientation detection and

quality inspection of small parts. It

consists of an optical unit, e.g. a

conveying unit with integral camera

and a control unit.

The part to be inspected is fed past

the camera on the conveyor belt. The

control unit analyses the contour of

the part and distinguishes between

good parts and those which are

incorrectly oriented or defective and

foreign parts.

All Checkbox units feature a Teach-in

function which allows them to “learn”

different parts automatically – without

the need for programming. They are

easy to use – the press of a button is

all that is needed to change your feed

system over from one part type to

another.

The Checkbox is used wherever small

parts need to be fed into assembly or

machining units. This is where

mechanical sorting devices reach their

limits, especially where parts of

complex shape or fast cycle times are

involved. This calls for intelligent

optical devices: The Checkbox family.

Defective or foreign parts

Incorrectly oriented parts

Identbox CHB-IB

The Identbox is the basic unit in the

Checkbox family and is used to

separate good parts, incorrectly-

oriented parts and defective parts.

Countbox CHB-CB

The Countbox combines the features

of the Identbox with a function for

counting good parts with pre-selection

of the desired quantity.

Sortbox CHB-SB

The Sortbox unites the functions of

the Identbox and the Countbox in one

unit and also conveys, sorts and

compiles several different types of

parts.

Software to meet individual requirements

CheckKon Performance characteristics

Using this software the processes

within the Checkbox can be displayed,

logged and adapted from the camera

image evaluation through to the I/O

parameters.

This means:

• Transfer of new programs to the

Checkbox

• Display and editing of system

parameters

• Display of the evaluation of the last

inspected parts recorded

• Display and logging of part contour

and characteristics derived

• Display and print-out of system

configuration

CheckOpti Performance characteristics

“CheckOpti” is used in cases where

the standard Checkbox learning

program reaches its limits due to the

fact that contour differences are too

small, meaning that part orientation

or quality features cannot be reliably

recognised.

“CheckOpti” facilitates a complete

analysis of the Checkbox recognition

processes based upon contour data

for the parts to be checked.

Additional, high performance test

features can be defined and

optimised if necessary. The new

configuration can be subsequently

transferred to the Checkbox.

Checkbox CHBSample applications

Application examples

Orientation detection and quality

inspection of lipstick tubes

The part check is carried out at a

speed of 30 parts/s directly in a

centrifuge.

The Checkbox controls the complete

feed process, e.g. the start and switch-

off reaction of the centrifuge or the

rejection of incorrectly orientated or

faulty parts.

The following features are checked:

• Orientation on the basis of a

chamfer

• Length

• Diameter

Orientation detection and type

identification of valve springs

Checking valve springs and control-

ling the integrated turning station for

the supply in a measuring and mark-

ing system. The Checkbox

distinguishes reliably more than

100 spring types and by means of an

electronic type memory permits con-

version by the pressing of a button.

The following features are checked:

• Orientation

• Length

• Diameter
